One of my most recent bookish obsessions, has been the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
I love it so much! It is to be a six book series. Currently only the first
three books are published as well as a book of novellas The Assassin’s Blade. The first part of this review will not
contain any spoilers, and the part with spoilers will be covered. Read that at
your own risk!
Throne of Glass is
about an assassin working in a death camp. One day she is visited by the Crown
Prince who takes her out of the mines to compete to become the King’s very own
champion. She must defeat thieves, assassins and fully trained soldiers in
order to earn her freedom. Will she survive? And where will she be at the end?
(That wasn’t the blurb that was my own summary. )
As you already know, this is one of my favourite series I
have read this year.
5 out of 5 stars.
Awesome.
In these books I love how Celaena is a girly-girl yet still kick-ass and doesn’t take any rubbish from anyone. I want to be like her sometimes, apart from the devastating life and the murdering people.
I highly recommend this series. If you like young adult fantasy and kick-butt characters this is for you.

First question: are you team Chaol or team Dorian? I’m torn
although I know that there are some very strongly opinionated fans out there. I
am both – if that makes sense. I don’t prefer one of them to the other. On one
hand Dorian is sweet, charming and witty, however Celaena herself says that
being with him wasn’t very serious. On the other hand, in the second book she
leaves all her possessions and money to Chaol. Cry of frustration! How do I
pick?
I was so sad when Nehemia died. I cannot believe that she
let herself be murdered because she thought it would help Celaena. Just why?
Why would you do that? I do not understand her reasoning. I do like Rowan
though. You see how much he cares about Celaena under the barrier he puts
around himself and I was so happy when he became the first member of her court.
I found Mannon a bit boring in the third book, I didn’t
think she was necessary. I don’t think Sorscha was necessary either, she turns
up for a few hundred pages and then gets executed. It’s heart-wrenching when
she is murdered and Dorian screams. I almost cried because I care about Dorian
so much.
Au revoir,
